Insider Details Reasonable Trades For The New York Rangers As Interest In Brennan Othmann Grows
The New York Rangers have a full complement in the forward core, and due to a logjam, they may have to part ways with a former 1st-round pick and top prospect. One NHL Insider believes that the Rangers could find a new home for him on multiple teams.
Forward
Brennan Othmann has
failed to make the team out of training camp again this season. He is likely to continue to develop for another year in the AHL and serve as a call-up when needed.
However, the long-term prospects for Othmann aren't so promising with the current log jam in the forward core.
According
to the 32 Thoughts Podcast, Elliotte Friedman, Othmann could find himself in a new uniform as GM Chris Drury is working the phones.
General Manager Chris Drury is actively exploring the trade market for the 22-year-old winger. While there's no official trade request, the mutual feeling that a «change of scenery» is needed is often the first public signal that a move is imminent. For a team as deep on the wings as the Rangers, this isn't just smoke; it's a clear signal of intent.
Here are some prime landing spots for a one-for-one swap for the former 1st-round pick.

And considering the Rangers are a win-now team, a return of another prospect that fits their timeline might not be bad. Though it could end up being a deal with futures, too.
